Chapter 830: Why do you ask?

　　When various MP4 e-books became popular, Amazon, which started with book sales, also saw business opportunities.
　　 Sales of their paper books have declined, but the e-book market is rapidly expanding. Otherwise, they will not buy audiobook sites, this is to expand their product range.
　　Amazon's technical strength is also very strong. They directly acquired a hardware company and developed a product called e-paper book.
　　 is not like MP4, you can watch videos or something, mainly for reading e-books. The screen is not particularly bright, so it doesn’t look dazzling when it is black. Originally it would not be clear under strong light, but now it has been improved.
　　Importantly, this product can be bound to Amazon's e-book mall. It is convenient to buy books at a discount, and it is easy to carry.
　　 There are many people who like to read, not just young people, but also many elderly people. Even Bezos once said that no one didn't like to read, only that they didn't encounter a book they were interested in.
　　It's like Zhang Yang said that no one doesn't like games because it's really fun.
　　 Amazon's KD e-paper book, it just so hot, selling much better than many MP4. Although there are few functions, the storage space is not small, and it is also liked by many people.
　　 Speaking of this e-book, Bezos began to talk about the benefits of this product. In the future, he will continue to improve hardware performance and increase the number of users, which will definitely make more money for the company.
　　 also relied on this product to make some Amazon book sales competitors grind their teeth, but they were helpless. Those book publishers are eager to resist this product, but are reluctant to give up Amazon, the largest book sales channel.
　　 Fortunately, the two sides have negotiated a new solution. Some book publishers can directly publish books on electronic boards and provide paid downloads on Amazon's official website, which can also make money.
　　 And this cost is still low, after all, printing, logistics and warehousing are no longer needed. For the author, not only has revenue not decreased, but it has increased.
　　For readers, reading has become more convenient and very worry-free.
"Zhang, in your China, there seem to be many pirated e-books. This is very bad. If you can get this copyright, you will definitely make more money." Bezos looked at Zhang Yang and hoped that Zhang Yang could help Get this done.
"The most pirated e-books are all in English, and most of them are from the United States." Zhang Yang squinted at Bezos. "The laws are different, the economic conditions are different, and the consumption concept is different. "
"In our country, renting a bookstore is a hot industry, and it is available in every town and every university campus. As for the online version of e-books, in fact, we have developed faster than North America because we have Many original authors who specialize in writing e-books, rather than translating others' stuff."
　　 "This matter should be considered by the political axe, not me. As one of the book publishers and distributors, you can go to comment."
　　In the early days, many industries grew wildly, so that they grew faster and in greater numbers. After a certain scale is formed, restrictions will begin, Zhang Yang knows in the previous life.
　　Bezuos sighed, feeling that he came here today, thinking of a few who needed Zhang Yang to help, the other party refused. Fortunately, the other party promised to help Zhang if he had difficulty in M&A in Europe.
　　 "Chapter, we are ready to enter the Eastern European market, can you help introduce a good partner?" Bezos asked.
　　 "Eastern Europe? The American relationship there is not good. If you want to develop, you will have to pay a higher price. But you can contact Kurishenko, he is my friend and has a strong network in Eastern Europe."
　　Kurishenko also does retail, and certainly knows who is doing this type of industry, and can be an intermediary. As for the final success, Zhang Yang doesn't care.
　　He is only a shareholder in Amazon, and the income there is not his main income, nor his main assets. What does he care about so much?
　　As for the success of the Amazon model in Eastern Europe, Zhang Yang does not care about it. Sometimes, some bumps can also make the company develop better in the future.
　　 The two were sitting on the table and talking while drinking, very comfortable.
　　Bezos seems a little bit drunk: "Chapter, you said that one day I can be in the top ten of the rich list?"
　　His shareholding in Amazon is only about 16%, which is still increased by the salary of senior executives in these years, otherwise only about 15%.
　　If you want to be in the top ten, at least it needs more than 20 billion US dollars, then he needs to increase the market value of Amazon to more than 150 billion US dollars.
　　 "Dream, might as well be bigger. Maybe one day, you can become the top five, and you can surpass Bill Gates, Buffett or something."
　　 Judging from the development of Amazon at this time, it may not be worse than the previous life. But it can only make Bezos the second in the rich list, because the first must be Zhang Yang, others cannot take it.
　　 On the Amazon side, Zhang Yang indirectly holds a higher proportion of shares than Bezos.
　　 The more net worth of Bezos, the more Zhang Yang's net worth will be, unless one day Bezos has invested in other industries and can get dozens of times of return.
　　 Bezos's eyes widened: "What do you mean~EbookFREE.me~ Amazon's market value may increase by more than ten times in the future?"
　　 That's four or five hundred billion US dollars, definitely a top big company, is this possible? At that time, Amazon will become the world's largest retail company, surpassing Wal-Mart?
　　 "Can you, you should not ask me, you should ask you CEO. The company's management is based on you, if you are not confident, how can you let investors have confidence?" Zhang Yang asked.
　　 "Yes, how is your relationship with your wife recently?"
　　 Bezos was a little surprised: "Good, why do you ask?"
　　 "Nothing, just ask." The divorce in the previous life paid 4% of Amazon's stock, worth more than 30 billion US dollars.
　　 This is also known as the most expensive divorce lawsuit in history, but it seems that apart from the division of property, the two did not make other news.
　　What's going on, Zhang Yang is actually very curious, but unfortunately I can't ask now, it's a pity.
　　After drinking a bottle of wine, Bezos got up and said goodbye. When he went downstairs, he was still thinking, why would Zhang Yang ask him about his relationship with his wife?
　　 Is he always busy working during this time, neglecting his family? Think about how often you have traveled a lot recently, and often abroad, but there is no way.
　　 Well, go back this time and buy a gift for your wife.
